Planning the perfect proposal can be the most daunting and scary moment of your life, no pressure…However, that’s where reading this article will hopefully come in handy. Not everyone can think of the perfect way to propose off the top of their head and in a world where nothing’s a secret on social media you don’t want anything to go wrong. You also want the perfect balance between unique and something your partner will remember forever and will want to tell everyone they know about. Here are some helpful tips to help you on your way to creating the perfect proposal for your loved one.

Keep it Personal

One thing that is really important with proposals is keeping it personal and keeping in mind your partner’s likes and dislikes. So, for example, if your partner doesn’t like crowds and being in the spotlight, proposing in private should be a very important aspect of the proposal. Also adding a personal touch is a good idea. For example, if your partner loves chocolate, you could opt to give them a chocolate gift with the ring hidden inside, or you could go one step further and have the words ‘will you marry me?’ written on a piece of chocolate for them, something which you can do almost anywhere.

The Ring

So, much like the first part (keeping it personal), you also need to remember that the ring is a very important part of the proposal. Head over to ascotdiamonds.com where you will find a fantastic selection of engagement rings that any woman would love. Don’t forget to also think about your partner’s preferences in jewelry. For example, does she like simple rings? Or does she love all the bling and sparkle? If you’re lucky she may have left some clues hanging around in one of her favorite magazines. Be sneaky and find out as much information as you can before buying.

Place and Time

Another important characteristic of the perfect proposal is the location. Many people choose to take their partner on a day trip, or even on a vacation to propose. So if your partner isn’t opposed to going on spontaneous trips, plan a small getaway for the two of you somewhere romantic. The key is to do something you wouldn’t usually do as this will be a moment that will be remembered forever. Do something different and plan on going somewhere you’ve never been before or doing an activity that the both of you love but don’t get to do often.

Hopefully these tips have sparked the inner Romeo lurking somewhere within you, and once the proposal is over you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about.  Just remember to have fun with the proposal, and to let them know exactly how you feel rather than putting on a big show (unless your partner loves that type of thing of course).And, most importantly, make the occasion a special and romantic time for them. Good luck!
